SPOTTED ON SHELVES – 3/15/2013

Here are some interesting new and limited edition products found on store shelves by us and your fellow readers. If you’ve tried any of the products, share what you think of them in the comments.

I guess this is better than lugging around a half gallon of International Delight Iced Coffee with a Super Big Gulp straw in the spout. (Spotted by Marvo at Safeway.)

Sadly, I can’t use Twizzlers Bites as a straw because they’re too short. And I can’t use Jolly Rancher Bites as something to try and chip my teeth with because they’re too soft. Too short and too soft…that’s someone’s life story. (Spotted by Nicole at Target.)

One Yosicle Swirls…I mean, Swirlz! has the same amount of calcium as one-third of a glass of milk. So sucking on these Yosicle Swirlz! will allow me to say “Suck it, osteoporosis!” (Spotted by Adam at Weis Markets.)

I could eat these Snyder’s of Hanover Spicy Cheddar Pretzel Sandwiches or keep dipping pretzel sticks into salsa con queso. (Spotted by Adam at Weis Markets.)

We have soft gummy vitamins that are easy to chew! How lazy must a mouth be to want these Nature Made VitaMelts that just dissolve? I bet those lazy mouths also drink a lot of smoothies. (Spotted by Marvo at Target.)

Thank you to all the photo contributors! If you’re out shopping and see an interesting new or limited edition product on the shelf (or really unusual), snap a picture of it, and send us an email (theimpulsivebuy@gmail.com) with where you found it and “Spotted” in the subject line. If you do so, you might see your picture in our next Spotted on Shelves post.

Those could maybe pass for black raspberries… Then again, black raspberries don’t taste like red raspberries, so they’d make about as much sense as blackberries. Unless the licorice tastes like black raspberries. (If so, I very much want to track it down and try it.)

Marvo, I tried the vitamelts I bought at Rite Aid when they were buy 1 get 1 free and a $2 off coupon. The vitamin C tablet tasted like oranges but it was little “dry” like eating a sweetarts. The energy ones tasted slightly better stronger berry flavor.
